Die Ratsstuben

EDIT: Things seem to have changed, since my last review I have returned to find the service exceptionally slow (55 mins between finishing my starter and being served my main) and the food was poor (my main was very overcooked and not nice at all). Perhaps it was just a bad night?!? Excellent dining experience in a very interesting and engaging setting. The food was superb, well prepared and served with excellent flavour and thoughtful combinations. The building itself is really interesting, especially towards the back where there is a private diving space with a vaulted ceiling and barred windows.

We sat about 30 minutes than waiter came and said “we are full”. Half of tables were free!

At first waiter asked what we would eat or drink. After half hour waiting menu it was said that restaurant is full however there were many unoccupied tables without any marks of reservation. Maybe they didn’t serve people of some nationalities?

Fabulous dining experience. Great food in a great location, with friendly, helpful staff. Wonderful wine too, and good prices. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a great dining experience.

I visited this restaurant again after 4 years. It was completely changed after renovation. Now it's pretty expensive fancy restaurant. Food is very tasty and service is good. From dishes names on the menu it's sometimes hard to understand what is it and menu itself only in German.

One of our favourite places near Karlsruhe, we have been going there for more than 15 years now - it is always something special! Decent german food, very good quality with reasonable price!

Very good food, between authentic German and upscale. Still good value for mam one and very friendly service. +1 for location and atmosphere

Quite expensive, but very tasty, and the service is top.
